PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge Instructional Videos

This video will show you how to enable the tare feature on the PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge.

Transcript: (How To Enable the Tare Function)

“Hi and welcome to APG TV. I’m Shaw Merrill, and today we are going to show you how to enable the tare feature on the PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge. To turn the tare feature on, press the ON/OFF button to enter the menu. Press the ZERO button to scroll through the options until “TARE” is on your display. Then press the SELECT button. Now press the ZERO button to scroll through the options until you see “ON,” then press the SELECT button. To exit the menu, press the ZERO button until you see “EXIT,” then press the SELECT button.

Remember, do not disconnect the gauge from the pressure fitting while the tare function is enabled. The gauge could still be under pressure even though the reading shows 0. Thanks for watching our quick PG7 menu demo. If you still have questions, contact us at (435) 753-7300, or send us an email at sales@apgsensors.com. Until next time, I’m Shaw Merrill, APG TV.”

This video shows you how to access the max and min readings, as well as the reset function, in the PG7 digital pressure gauge.

Transcript: (How To Access Max/Min Readings)

“Hi and welcome to APGTV, I’m Shaw Merrill and today we’re gonna show you how to access the max and min readings, as well as the reset function, in the PG7 digital pressure gauge. To view your max and min readings on the PG7, simply press the select button. This will display the max reading. When we press it again, we’ll see the min reading. Press it a third time and we return to the units of measure.

To reset the max and min readings, press the on/off button to enter the menu. The max/min feature is the first option on the PG7 menu. Press the select button to enter the sub menu. Then we can press a zero button to scroll through the options. When we see “YES” on the display, press the select button to reset the readings. To exit the menu, press the zero button until we see exit, then we press the select button.

This video demonstrates how to measure pounds of force from a hydraulic system using APG’s PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge.

Transcript: (How To Measure LBS of Force from a Hydraulic System)

“Hi you’re watching APGTV. I’m Shaw Merrill, and today we’ll demonstrate how to measure pounds of force from a hydraulic system. For this example, we’ll stamp some aluminum on a load cell, connected to a PG7 display. In the field, this would likely be done with our PG7 digital pressure gauge connected to the hydraulic line. On the PG7 you must convert psi to pounds. You’ll need to know the custom multiplier which will vary depending on the surface area.

Typically, there will be a load that has to be ignored before an accurate measurement can be taken. We’ll use this weight as an example. If this is less than 5% of the full-scale, use the zero function as shown here. If the load is greater than 5% of full-scale, enable the tare feature in the user menu to zero out the weight. Once the tare feature is enabled, the zero button will then re-tare as needed.

Now we can apply force and get an accurate measurement. Simply remember to ignore the pre-existing load before taking the critical measurement. Thanks for watching our quick demonstration on how to measure pounds of force from a hydraulic system.

This video shows you how to set the units of measure on your PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge.

Transcript: (How to Set Units of Measure)

“Hi and welcome to APGTV. I’m Shaw Merrill, and today we are going to show you how to set the units of measure on the PG7 Digital Pressure Gauge. To set your units of measure, press the ON/OFF button to enter the menu. Then press the ZERO button to scroll through the menu options until you see the units on your display. Press the SELECT button to enter that option.

Now press the ZERO button until you see the desired units of measure, then press the SELECT button. To exit the menu, press the ZERO button until you see exit, then press the SELECT button.
